Dust extraction with Festool's mobile dust ex-
tractor
To prevent having to frequently empty the dust bag
when carrying out sanding work for a long period of
time, you can connect Festool's mobile dust ex-
tractor (with an extraction hose diameter of 27 mm)
to the extractor connection piece [1-4].
 The start-up mode switches the mobile dust ex-
tractor on as soon as you switch the orbital
sander on. The start-up mode only works in
conjunction with the mains adapter.
Recommendation: Use an antistatic suction hose.
This helps reduce the electric charge.
7.5 Edge protector [6]
The edge protector [1-7] reduces contact of the
sanding pad circumference with a surface (e.g.
when sanding along a wall or a window), thus pre-
venting back-kick of the machine, or machine dam-
age.
Push the edge protector into the groove on the
machine.
Slot the two ends of the edge protector into
place until they click.
Loosen both ends of the edge protector.
Remove the edge protector by pulling it for-
wards.

Working with the machine

WARNING
Risk of injury

Always secure the workpiece in such a manner
that it cannot move while being machined.
Observe the following instructions:
– Do not overload the machine by pressing with ex-
cessive force! The best sanding results are
achieved with moderate application pressure.
The sanding capacity and quality are mainly de-
pendent on the selection of the correct abrasive.
– Hold the machine with one hand on the handle
[1-8].

sanding and polishing pads may cause serious ma-
chine imbalances that decrease the quality of the
work results and increase wear on the power tool.
